link to cooling problem repair
and if you pm me i can give you a link to a vaux specialist i know who can (depending on engine code ) remove the egr valve by reflashing your ecu
this can be done by post


no ad just trying to help

l hear the main agents are doing this now as a ecu update ,, might be worth asking for a price , egr valves are only 65 notes now for dealer ones ,, never fit a copy there crap

asked a few mechanic i know and they never heard of this fix [ame="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Astra-Cavalier-Vectra-Meriva-Thermostat-Fix-/160565738346?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item256276bb6a#ht_1177wt_1342"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Astra-Cavalier-Vectra-Meriva-Thermostat-Fix-/160565738346?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item256276bb6a#ht_1177wt_1342[/ame]can anyone reccomend this and any idea what it involves it looks just what im looking for although if you read my thread garage reckons they have fitted a new thermostat

this mod simply removes thermostat for its original location and fits to the pipe on the top of the radiator to decrease flow through the head keeping it at a realistic temp and creating a slower flow
if i understand it properly
if you go to the link i sent first its explained better there
also smirnof is correct patern egr valves are an utter waste of time and money

If you or anyone else needs any codes checked or cleared for astra g or vectra g just inbox me, i live in corby

do the peddle test to get the fault coad press and hold down the brake and clutch peddles whilst turning the key to the second posistion the engine management light should start to flash after about 10 - 20 seconds count the pulses it should flash at a constant rate then pause then flash again it dose this for for numbers somthing like ** *** * ********** = 2310 then it will move on to the next stored code.
have a look on astra owners club AOC for loads of info on astra's

hope this helps mate
